A nurse is collecting data from a newborn who was born 24 hrs ago. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as an indication that the newborn has erythema toxicum?

A. Explain the rounding schedule to the client: While explaining the rounding schedule helps reassure the client that frequent checks will occur, it does not immediately address safety needs. Immediate actions to reduce fall risk are prioritized before providing routine information.

B. Tell the client about the visiting hours: Informing the client about visiting hours is part of general orientation but is not critical to preventing falls. Safety interventions must be implemented first to minimize risk of injury as soon as possible upon admission.

C. Review meal options with the client: Discussing meal options is part of admission and planning for nutrition, but it is not an urgent action to ensure the client's immediate safety, particularly when there is a known risk for falls.

D. Place the call light within reach of the client: Ensuring the call light is within reach allows the client to easily request assistance before attempting to move independently. This simple action is a high-priority intervention to prevent falls and promote immediate client safety.

A. "Advance directives are the same as a consent form for health care treatment": Advance directives are different from a consent form. A consent form is specific to the current treatment or procedure, while advance directives outline future healthcare wishes in the event the client becomes unable to make decisions.

B. "Advance directives are for clients who have life-threatening conditions.": While advance directives are especially important for clients with serious illnesses, they are appropriate for all adults, regardless of current health status, to ensure their wishes are known and respected if they become incapacitated.

C. "Advance directives must be approved by your lawyer.": Advance directives do not require a lawyer's approval to be valid. They usually need to be signed by the client and witnessed or notarized, depending on state laws, but legal counsel is not mandatory for completing one.

D. "Advance directives protect your right to make your own health care decisions.": Advance directives ensure that a client’s wishes regarding healthcare are known and respected even if they cannot voice them later. They preserve the client’s autonomy and legal rights concerning treatment preferences.
